I'm in multiple Wordle text groups, so you might say I am an expert on the diversity of human behavior. My Wordle friends include a pharmacist, a 76-year-old grandma, an engineering professor, a stay-at-home mom, and a creative director in the fashion industry.
But their occupation, age, education or gender can't explain what makes them tick as well as their Wordle strategies.
To the uninitiated: Wordle is an addictive word puzzle that gives players six tries to guess a five-letter word. On any given day, everyone gets the same word. You can share your results to boast of your wins, which is why you've been seeing a bit of nerd swagger on social media as folks post grids of green, black and yellow squares.
